It will be available on the R3 web site. The R3 ExCom endorsed the 15 July 2010 revision to the R3 Operations Manual at their 2 August 2010 meeting and is available on the R3 web site. Due to some health problems I am unable to travel very far from home. I therefore am stepping down as Chair of the R3 SPC effective 1 September 2010. George McClure our SPC Vice Chair has agreed to serve as SPC Chair. I have agreed to support George and remain active in the SPC and other IEEE functions. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all who have worked and supported me throughout these many years.
